    So a museum on the history of the Nazi era is waste of money?

    That’s actually the position a far right revisionist would take…

    an exhibition dedicated to the history of Nazism was later also established there

    Edit: Better article by the BBC at https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cm74pk1g51nko including this line:

    Blume has made clear on Bavarian radio that “it should not and must not cost the taxpayer anything”.

    So no, not even taxpayer money (probably insurance) will be spent.

      There is a difference between preserving history and rebuilding it.

        Yes, there is. And if you cared to do even 30 seconds of research instead of basing everything on a shoddy partial translation from German right-wing tabloid BILD, you’d know there are is now a commission of historians working on a proposal what exactly to do with the ruins.

        There’s also nothing preventing them from building an actual, purpose-built museum on the site, or maybe even next to Hilter’s burnt house (which could be preserved in that state, with a sign explaining what happened, why it happened, and why it has not been rebuilt).

          Amazing how people reply in a thread that already links the better BBC article and still make it obvious they didn’t care to read any of it.
